Huh, I was expecting printer ink to be on the 16 most expensive materials list.

the Dell post:
that floating 'repost' bar on the left side is the most irritating thing I have ever seen on a website.
As such I refuse to read the content

So, am I slutty drunk who used to like cocaine because I freelance for advertising agencies or do I freelance for advertising agencies because I'm a slutty drunk who used to like cocaine?

It's sort of chicken and the egg.

Also, just a note because my clients split test the fuck out of everything - articles with headlines that end in question marks get between 200 and 800 percent more click throughs.

If click through rates are part of your income stream/business model you are just doing good business by writing question headlines. When people see a question it makes them naturally want to click through to find the answer.

I don't know if you've noticed, but I've included a small, italicised strapline at the bottom of my links posts now, which emulates the advert at the bottom of the iOS client's posts. I think it might be worth putting it on FTTT by default, I'd love to see more people using your tech!

I'm dubious about the Vioxx article-- it might be making a sound claim, but only if there's no lag effect on mortality when you start or stop taking the drug.
